THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF ITALY SINCE 1870

The Economic Development of Modern Europe Since 1870 series

Edited by Giovanni Federico, Life Fellow, Department of Modern and Contemporary History, University of Pisa, Italy

Interest in Italy's development is warranted by the size of the country, the level of income it has achieved and the lessons its particular story may contain. The relevant literature is extensive and includes studies by social historians as well as by economic historians and economists. Most of the literature available is in Italian, although the work in English is growing.
